Expert Sense

Ever since you got your first bottle of perfume ages ago, you’ve likely been applying your fragrance behind your ears and to the inside of your wrists. But did you know that there are tons of other great places to spray perfume on your body? Here are some ways that you can get creative and switch up your spritz.

Your Crowning Glory

When you’re trying to decide where to spray perfume, remember that a quick mist to your hair can be fun and flirty. As an added bonus, your fragrance will be activated as you toss your hair throughout the day, allowing you to leave a delicately scented trail in your path. Reach for Capri for Women by Vince Camuto, which is inspired by the cool breezes of the Mediterranean, and infused with notes of sparkling pink grapefruit, violet leaves, peach blossom, and musk.

Hidden Pulse Points

Your neck and wrists are classic spots to add a dab of your favorite fragrance, but you should feel free to experiment with other pulse points, too. Perhaps you can spritz some perfume behind your knees or in the crook of your elbow. After all, the warmth created by the bending of your joints can help to radiate your fragrance. Try Florabotanica for Women by Balenciaga, a spicy blend of mint, carnation, vetiver, and amber. Or perhaps you may prefer Daisy Dream for Women by Marc Jacobs, a fruity floral mix of blackberries, pear, blue wisteria, and coconut water.

Heat Rises

As heat rises, many savvy girls love to spritz their favorite fragrances on their ankles. The aroma will rise up around you, especially on warm days, enveloping you in a sweetly scented cloud. To maximize your scent potential, reach for RiRi Crush for Women by Rihanna, which pairs sensual woody notes of patchouli and cedarwood with tart mandarin and pink musk.

Hugs and Kisses

In this affectionate world, many people have adopted the custom of hugging and kissing upon greeting. If you want to amp up this moment a bit, you can try the emerging trend of applying a bit of scent to your eyebrows. When you lean in closely for that cheeky smooch, the recipient can get a delicious whiff of your fragrance. Pair your pucker with Viva La Juicy Gold Couture for Women, which combines honeysuckle, golden amber, caramel, and vanilla.

Off the Cuff

Have you ever smelled the inside collar of your leather jacket after you’ve worn perfume? The leather holds scent extremely well, and so the fragrance can last for weeks! Spray a leather cord and tie it around your wrist and you’ll get fragrant wafts of your perfume throughout the day as the friction of your skin against the leather renews the scent. Gucci Bamboo for Women is a perfect partner, melding bergamot, Casablanca lily, ylang-ylang, and sandalwood.
